David Gornoski on Jesus Christ, René Girard and Scapegoating

Customer Reviews
Informative & Inspiring
Aaron Olson has had a great lineup of guests, many of them highly regarded in the paleo & endurance sport communities. You can tell Aaron knows his stuff when it comes to nutrition & fitness. He's read (or at least can speak intelligently about) his guest's books & he asks some really great questions during the interviews. He also has brought in a fair amount of guests who have differing or even opposing viewpoints (vegans for instance) but respectfully allows them to share their own experience. I had little interest in nutrition prior to listening to the podcast but found it exteremely interesting.
Aaron is amazing at his craft
Oft times I want to ask a question while I listen and incredibly Aaron asks that very question of his guest! He is very good at his craft. I like paleo, I like running, I like his guests, and I like his style. Check this one out. scottyO-Aspen
